Patient-Focused Chiropractic Care in Fountain Valley

Each patient’s pain is unique, and so is their healing injury. Some get better after a few sessions, others may require a couple of sessions. The aim of treatment is to enable your spine and joints to function better, to reduce any unnecessary stress on the nervous system and long-term functioning. During the time of the evaluation, Dr. Balta will present you with the results of the evaluation and describe a plan for you that is suitable for your needs, and let you know what to expect from this plan.

A chiropractic adjustment is a specific, precise, and controlled motion applied to a joint that isn't moving normally, typically in the spine. The objective is to enhance mobility, de-stress joints, and allow the body to function with less restriction. Typically done by hand, but can be done with an instrument or other techniques, depending on the patient. Dr. Balta will customize treatment to your age, comfort level, symptoms, and health history and will inform you about the treatment before it begins so you will be comfortable with the process.

While some patients seek chiropractic attention for back or neck pain, others seek chiropractic care for headaches, stiffness, posture issues, decreased mobility, sports injuries, occupational strain, or pain after an accident. A chiropractor considers the functioning of the spine, the joints, muscles, and nervous system, and how movement limitations could be impacting comfort in daily activities. Visiting Dr. Balta will give you a clearer idea of what may be going on with your symptoms and if natural hands-on care may be beneficial for you to move, function, and feel better.

The first visit is intended to be comfortable and informative, and to find out what you need. Dr. Balta will take time to get to know you and understand your health history, discuss your current symptoms, ask about your lifestyle and goals, and complete an evaluation to find out more about how your body is moving. If chiropractic is a good fit, he will offer you explanations of what he discovered and guide you along the path for what you should do next. You will be able to ask questions, know what you are getting into, and feel confident before undergoing treatment.

Many people suffering from spinal pain and stiffness, joint restriction, and discomfort with movement could benefit from chiropractic treatment, provided that treatment is centered on a proper evaluation and a treatment strategy that works for the patient. Chiropractic care can promote better joint movement, which can decrease stress on the irritated areas and allow the body to move and function more comfortably. Some patients are looking for immediate relief, and others are looking for chiropractic care as part of a longer-term wellness program. Dr. Balta can assist you in determining if chiropractic is suitable for you and what results can be reasonable for your ailment.
